How much does the bag weight, empty? The specs say 4.2lbs - that doesn't seem right....

I just weighed the bag and it is 3.8 lbs (3 lbs 12 oz) Or, 1.72 kilo. . .Hope this helps? If you want to know what it will fit inside? I "loaded" it with: 1--Nikon D7000; 1--Nikon D90; 1--Tamron 28-300mm lens; 1--Sigma 18-35mm lens; i--Nikon 85mm lens; 2--Battery chargers (for each camera) plus connecting cables; 1--2X lens "extender;" a mini-tripod; 2--"full-size" (300+ pages) manuals; 1--Kindle Fire 10 tablet in leather case with keyboard; 1--8x11 70 page lined paper notebook; a dozen 5x8 cards; misc pens and markers; and, a pair of sunglasses; and, a roll of duct tape. . .And, there is still room for a couple sandwiches. . .I am also able to mount a 54" tripod and a water bottle using the straps on the outside of the pack. . .Thus, enabling me to carry quite a bit of "goodies" in one bag (Obviously, NOT all that was gonna be carried by me on my back . . .but, I CAN just grab the pack and toss it into the car. . .and, unload the unnecessary stuff when I get to the trail head). . .I can, if necessary carry just about all of that on a short hike, which is why I got it (I have a "full-size" LowePro backpack if I want to go overnight with which I can carry a sleeping bag; cooking kit; axe; etc etc) I got the Amazon backpack STRICTLY for "day hikes". . .

When I weighed the green patrol bag on my balance it came in at 2lb - 4oz. Also, if your interested, the intermediate bag came in right around 4lb, and the bivy came in at 2lb - 2oz. The whole system thus weighs 8lb - 6oz without the stuff sack.

hmm I don't know specifically because I am at home but I would say 1 to maybe 2 lb. It's really light and I didn't notice any significant weight impact on my bag.

It's a 2lb bag. If you look under product details it states shipping weight is 2.2 lbs.

I reweighed it after seeing Gary's answer and still came up with slight less than 17lb - but the bag is 3/4 full.

I just posted a picture of the used bag on a digital scale and it still weighs 2lb 0.9oz. Considering the amount I used, I'm convinced the 2.2lb weight indicated was correct before the bag was opened and used.

I believe the weight is 1.5 pounds when packed in box for shipment;that's with bag empty i'm assuming? Hope that helps?

The bags I have purchased have all been 50 pounds (I buy it every year on Amazon.) Unless they have changed the bag size since the last time I bought it (last spring) it has always been 50 pounds; the price is about right for the 50 pound bag.

I don't have an unopened bag, however I've used a portion of my latest bag and it still weighs 1.14 lbs. Hope this helps.

Em, The advertised weight is 32 lbs. The weight with the bag is actually 30.1 by our digital scale. Bob

It doesn't weigh much empty. You have to fill it with sand or with water first. I filled mine with 1 lb of sand & I can still move it around pretty easily but it doesn't move on it's own much when using it. I can still add more sand as there is still plenty of room to fill but I haven't needed to. This is meant to be a reflex bag anyway, not a full strength punching bag.

Hi Christine, the bag is definitely not more than 1 lb. I am not sure about the exact weight though.

The bag may weigh only a few ounces, but the contents could weigh 25 pounds. Whether that "sound a bit heavy" must be put in context.

I dont have a scale, but it feels like a pound or two, max. Its definitely not the lightest sleeping bag I've seen around, but it's not very heavy. For a long backpacking trip, this might not be the best choice, but for day hikes and overnight camping, it's suited me very well
